Samsung Electronics, union to resume talks over bonus, union says

Samsung Electronics and its South Korean workers' union agreed to resume talks on bonuses, the union said in a statement on Tuesday. The resumption reduces short-term labor disruption risk but provides no details on timing, amounts or outcomes. Absent strike escalation or a material settlement, this development is unlikely to move Samsung's stock materially.
